Reading this nearly made me cry.

OK... sorry but I'm having a hard time understanding the logic here - perhaps you could help me out. Just trying to understand your point of view here
I thought the intent of handicap parking spots was to aid those who have mobility problems and difficulty walking... right?
So if someone doesn't appear to have a mobility problem, is it consistent with the intent of the law for them to use a handicap spot anymore than anyone else who doesn't appear to have a mobility problem? I mean are they really mobility challenged enough to justify using one of those spots?
Secondly, is it really fair to criticize folks in the above situation? Are you advocating that people never question something that appears wrong and out of place? After all people who challenge others on their use of handicap parking are really just trying to help make sure those spaces are there for folks that need them. I have personally known someone who used their parent's placard - and we all know there is a lot of abuse of these spots.
Perhaps the crux of the problem is that "Handicap Parking" should have been called something like "Limited Mobility" parking instead.

Some people have lung or heart problems, that you wouldn't see.

Wow this has turned ugly. We've gone from manners to unadulterated rage rants...
"Just try and contradict or challenge me. I'll verbally abuse you and kick you while you're down, if I can."
"Don't say 'whatever' - it make me soooo MAAAAD!"
"Don't display any social niceties and ask how I am today, or I'll rip into your soft underbelly like a demon!"
Folks, you should hear yourselves. Maybe manners should apply universally, for everyone?

I think you're right on here. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes with food. I'm not a picky eater, but I'm not the perfect omnivore either. If I don't eat something you've prepared please don't take it as a personal insult and hold it against me
More than likely, I truly admire your culinary skills, but simply don't care for that particular dish. And please don't harass and nag me on, and on, and on to "just try it"... if I wanted to try it, I would!

That is an excellent point - thanks for pointing it out

No - see and until you have an actual handicap - not a "limited mobility issue" - you'll never understand. In order to get that "special parking priveledge" as so many seem to think it IS - you must have conditions wrong with you that are 1. temporary (broken leg, wheel chair due to accident, etc) or 2. Permenant. either of which require a complete and utter embarrassing physical by not only your doctor but DMV requires you to state your issues as well.
I do not brag about my "Handicap Status" as if it were something to be proud of and neither does my mom. Would trade you her Post Polio, Rhumatoid Arthritis, and COPD and any one of my 9 conditions any day of the week and twice on Sunday if you'd care to have either of our "Special Parking" priveleges.
and No - you do not have a right to question anyones ability to park in handicap parking - nope, sorry.
Limited mobility...
